Cleanser - Gentle Foaming Cleanser

Love the foam!

Loved the foam and the packaging of this! So gentle and didn’t get too over bubbly and up my nose etc, like what you would imagine a foam to do. Left face very clean without stripping it. What you would expect from such an expensive cleanser

Good but maybe not worth the cost

I enjoy this product - I always use it after my oil cleanse. I love the foaming and it definitely leaves my skin feeling fresh, but not stripped of moisture. I don’t know that the cost is worth it though - I think there a loads of other great cleansers for a lot less than this, and for that reason, I wouldn’t buy it again.

clean and packs a punch

The foam action is great. I have the 50 mL size, and I do have to use at least two pumps. Maybe the pump is larger for the larger bottle. I know that this is controversial territory here for some Barbara Sturm fans, but I'm giving an honest review for those who are considering the price tag. And I have to say that I would not consider this "gentle." It is not THAT stripping, but I do think other foam/gel cleanser remove less natural oils. For example, Klairs or Drunk Elephant Beste Jelly. That said, excellent formulation because the ingredients are clearly high-quality. I just think it's best for people with medium-thick skin (I mean less reactive). I tend to reach for it after I have a sweaty day. Otherwise my forehead immediately gives over-shine once I rinse. It's the only B Sturm product I have tried so far, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

If you have the money, go fot it!

Probably my favourite product of the Dr. Barbara Sturm brand. It's a super gentle cleanser with no fragrance that leaves the skin feeling moisturized after cleansing. Despite the way too expensive price tag, this cleanser is still my #1 of everything I've had the chance to try so far. It's the only cleanser that doesn't leave my skin dry, and it's a blast.

Cloud-like Cleansing!

Dr. Barbara Sturm Cleanser is the best way to start and end your day. Although it is very lightweight, it cleans well while also hydrating, never leaving the skin stripped. I can tell how perfectly it cleanses my skin to prepare it for the day and allows my products to apply with ease! I know I can also rely on the cleanser to help me clean the day off my face and prepare my skin for my nighttime skincare products! I highly recommend the DBS cleanser as an everyday skincare staple in your routine!

Cleanser!

This cleans very well! I use this every day and go in circular motions all over my face! It doesn't feel stripping at all and feels balanced. I don't feel any tightening after cleaning with this. I would say to use about two to three pumps at once.

Wonderful skincare line

Ever since I got an IUD, I have suffered from cystic acne. All through growing up, I never had bad acne, so the cystic acne was frustrating and embarrassing. Ever since I started using this face wash and several other products from this line, it has stopped and my skin looks and feels amazing! These products are wonderful if you are able to splurge on the price!

good cleanser. overpriced.

I was able to try several Dr. Sturm products when they had a special set of deluxe minis in the beauty bazaar last year. I really enjoyed this cleanser, it does a good job of removing makeup and oils. It does feel a bit stripping to my normal skin. Even though I enjoy it there is no way I will pay this amount of money for a cleanser. I’m not going to participate in this insanity. Look into Dr. Babor, it’s made at the same factory in Germany and the ingredients are suspiciously similar. That’s all. Just lookin out for your wallet.

GOOD but NOT phenomenal

If this is out of your price range, I don’t feel like it’s anything phenomenal to want to spend the extra money (Makes me think of La Mer in a sense). The product quality is good, but it’s not phenomenal. If I was the richest person in the world, I would still opt for many products that are better quality with a cheaper price range. I love German products, which is what gave me the push to try out Dr. Sturm products. This is definitely a gentle cleanser, but if you’re a one step and done person, do not expect it to wipe off your makeup with one or several pumps. After using this product, I felt like my face was slightly itchy in spots where my face was broke out. I used this with other Sturm products and my skin felt soft. I do not see myself repurchasing this. I recommend using Drunk Elephant Pekee or Juju Bar for a cleanser. I’m not the biggest fan of the Drunk Elephant Jelly Cleanser.

best cleanser

I have super super sensitive very fair skin that reacts to everything but still needs a proper cleanse. This stuff is amazing. Calming and cleansing. So smooth. Never hurts. Doesn’t sting eyes. I’ve bought many bottles. Can’t live without it.

Not effective for acne

I have hormonal acne and splurged on this. I love Dr. Sturm’s videos and was excited to try her products. This cleanser was not strong enough to address acne or to remove makeup as it is suggested to do. I paired it with the scrub twice a week as instructed. Probably good if you have good skin already!

do not use if your skin is already pretty good

used to have basically perfect skin, never broke out, occasional blemishes. After using this face wash, started breaking out, every time I used it my blemishes got more irritated. Bought it because I have heard good things about this brand but a huge let down. If you are age 16-20, already has pretty clear skin, do not use it it will make you break out horribly.
